    Cut the cable 5 years ago and no regrets

    We bought 3 of the single version of this antenna 5 years ago and this year we decided to buy this for our living room Tv. We used the app to find the best location to get the most channels. We get over 30 channels and also use a Roku to stream tv for more choices. These antennas pay for themselves in one to two months in what you save on Cable. And if bad weather pixelates the tv...it isn’t costing me any money the way cable did. Ours are inside but could be mounted outside.

    We are located in a valley (of sorts) between mountains, not that far from the transmitting antennae. Other antennae that we have used have given mixed results/problems. This one works very well and the loss of signal issues have essentially completely disappeared. The installation was much easier that I had expected and it does not require AC to operate it. (This fact is not mentioned anywhere on the box or website. This was my greatest concern as I would need to run power to it, if it had needed it.)

    Simple, but powerful testimonial here. This is the SECOND one of these I bought. The first one is on my roof, pulling in consistently solid signal. I've had it up there for over a year. I loved it so much I bought one for my son and daughter in law and we installed it on their home's exterior. It is well made, goes together easily and mounts solidly. Of course, it does the job it's built for very well. I would recommend this for anyone looking to replace or add an exterior TV antenna.

    ClearStream 4MAX Antenna

    Found the station locations, approx. 35 miles away, and aimed the antenna. At ground level, we received all the major stations. We did not want to place the antenna on the roof or the side of the house. (Probably would have picked up a few more stations if we had placed the antenna higher, but we are satisfied with reception of the major stations.) We mounted the antenna on the top of a fence post. Signal is strong for 25 stations and it performs as advertised.

    I tried 4 other antennas before I bought the Clearstream 4 max. I got the most channels and the least breakups of any I tried. I would definitely recommend this one

    Great item easy to install and setup , we are in a rural area in the country and this antenna pics up allot of station for Freeeeeeeeeeeee , we did not use a booster for the signal, it worked great out of the box we used the existing mount from our old satellite dish to mount this on , didn't need to make new holes in our roof, just downloaded the App to tell me where the signals wear best to point to and all is good

    Gained 25 channels over past antenna. As an RF Engineer, well worth your money. Keep in mind direction of the main lobe matters. Adjust orientation to pull in the most distant stations. Greatly diminished digital drop out for nearby stations.

    After going through about four or five other antennas and being frustrated and disappointed with them all I decided to spend some money and buy a highly rated quality antenna. It was expensive but what a huge difference in the reception and performance . I am impressed and very satisfied. I now get every channel in my area , channels that I didn’t realize that I had. They are clear without pixelation except sometimes when the weather is bad. I highly recommend this antenna. It works great for me!

    Installed this antenna on a roof peak over a year ago and have really enjoyed the quality of the over air channels with this antenna. The range is excellent and we get channels that we couldn't receive with the indoor antennas. Recommend.

    Good directions. Mostly plastic, so it's lightweight. Takes some thought, but can be a one person installation, as long as you are able to use a ladder, common tools, and have an adequate location to place the antenna. My only concern is that, for the money, ClearStream should provide stainless steel fasteners. They are nonstandard sizes, so you can't substitute stainless steel if you wanted to.

    This device works as described. However location and terrain surrounding you and the tower location can hinder signal strenght. Another issue you may find is if you split this antenna signal onto multiple tvs this will also degrade the signal strength. i am only 25 miles away from the local towers located in washington d.c., installed this antenna on the roof of my townhouse and off the bat it worked, but did NOT get all of my local channels. Called up Antennas Direct 800 number..SUPER SUPER helpful and great customer service. My setup is split to 4 tvs throughout the house. They recommended a 4 way power amplified/splitter. I bought it and when it arrived and installed it....IT WORKED 100% like a charm, now i've got ALL my local channels and more....I am very happy with the end result.

    I really can't compare antennas because this one was the first I ever bought. It was very easy to assemble. I installed it in the attic and started scanning for channels. I do not understand it? Yes I am pulling channels from Lynchburg( an hour away) but also from Roanoke( two hours away and on the other side of the Blue Ridge mountains). I am getting 27 channels total with only one duplicate ( wwcw). Bought this antenna because dish tv goes out whenever we have tornado warnings.

    After hurricane Zeta blew through New Orleans many lost power and cable/internet. We actually got our power back up after a few days but it was several days after when we got our cable internet back up. I bought a Mohu sail after the storm and it was decent but not as good as the Clearstream 4 max.I returned the Mohu in favor of the Clearstream which I installed in my attic and it has been working great since providing TV signal to TVs which I dont have cable on.

    I first tried the TERK 65 mile indoor. I could not pick up even all of the major channels (They are around 60 miles away.) I took it back and got the ClearStream, mounted it on a cinder block on my flat roof. It was spectacular. Way more channels than I will ever watch. Then a big windstorm knocked my jury rig (cinder block) over. The unit was laying flat on my roof and pointing toward the sky. Hmm. I still got all of the channels I had selected. Amazing.

    Pricey HDTV Antenna

    Purchased this antenna to save on Century Link's expensive cable service. Assembly was straight forward and simple. Have it hanging high on a wall on the inside of the house: I can pick up 19 local channels, all HD. It is hooked to a HD LG TV. The signal fluctuates when someone walks by, but is clear when there is no nearby movement. If/when I mount if outside, I'm expecting better results. I paid full price at BB; there are cheaper options online.

    Easy to assemble, able to get 4 additional stations of public television which is good considering this was used in a very rural community with the tower being over 70 miles away. We were hoping for major stations- that is why the 4 stars and not 5

    I wanted to upgrade b4 the Super Bowl and decided on this one. My previous antenna got about 25 channels. I bought this one because it was able to be used outside and inside and was affordable. I end up setting it up inside because that's where I got the best reception. I now average 50 channels with this antenna. It also looks nice on the wall, very techy.
